Debra Giusto

Bio

I am currently on the Faculty at City College of San Francisco. I teach in the RN Nursing Program. I am a pediatric instructor. My class is face to face and on-line. I do a variety of teaching strategies because each student learns differently. Some students are visual learners, some like to read, while others may want to draw or touch. I do simulations with students and incorporate the latest technology into my classes. I have worked in Pediatrics Out-Patient at Kaiser Permanente for 30 years. Assessing, evaluating, and treating children. Educating their families about growth and development, the disease process, how to maintain wellness, and together develop a plan of care. I am an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). I assist mothers with breastfeeding. I do a breastfeeding assessment and together with the family develop a plan of care that meets their needs. I perform newborn assessments and provide education.
